I’ve posted a few times on the British teacher imprisoned for allowing her class to name a teddy bear Mohammed. It looks like, after spending eight days in prison, the teacher has been freed.
There were the usual protests:
a demonstration of about 30 or 40 people was held outside the embassy in Khartoum, with banners protesting about the decision to release her.
Sadly, the teacher would have still been in prison today if not for bad press the world over and lots of diplomatic wrangling by the UK. The Dark Ages, obviously, are not over yet.
